Today, I was riding a longboard down a hill and I fell off. I was all scraped up so I made sure to clean my wounds and put bandages on them. Turns out I'm allergic to the glue on the bandages and I have itchy hives all over and around my open wounds. FML

Today, I got a bug bite on my boob. I scratched it so much it started bleeding so I put a bandaid on it. Turns out the band-aid had latex in it and I got an allergic reaction to it. The bug bite is still bleeding and the top half of my boob is swollen. FML

Today, I was riding my scooter at a skate park. I was wearing a helmet, but I got hot, so I took it off. Within the next minute, I fell off my scooter and cut my head open. I had to get four stitches. FML

Today, I discovered that I'm allergic to band-aids. I now have a band-aid shaped rash around a tiny cut on my leg. Oh the irony. FML

Today, I fell off my bike. I grazed my knee, shin, thigh, hip, collar bone, shoulder and face. I also strained my wrist. As I was wheeling my bike away, I stung my other leg on nettles. FML

Today, I decided to take a relaxing shower. My face mask made my face break out in hives. While exfoliating, my nipples became chafed. Then I slipped and cut myself while shaving. FML

Today, I was riding my motorcycle on the highway and wearing all of my gear - boots, gloves, jacket, and full-face helmet. Somehow a bee found the only spot not covered on my body and stung my neck. I'm allergic to bees. FML

Today, I sliced my arm open on the weekend, patched it with a fabric bandaid. Had an allergic reaction to the bandaid, arm now swollen, blistering and keeping-me-awake itchy. Pharmacist's advice? "Oooh, that looks bad. Better put a bandaid on that." FML

Today, I had an allergic reaction to my deodorant. My armpits wouldn't stop itching, and by the time my shift was over, they were raw and bloody. FML

Today, I have scratched both my ankles so hard and for so long that they started bleeding, and they still itch. I have no idea what I’m allergic to. FML

Today, I finally went to have blood taken for an allergy test I really need. Afterwards, I had an allergic reaction to the bandaid they used on my arm. FML

YOU PEOPLE ARE SO DUMB! YOU CAN BECOME ALLERGIC TO SOMETHING YOU'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH YOUR WHOLE LIFE, WITHOUT EVER HAVING BEEN ALLERGIC TO IT. ACQUIRE SOME SENSE BEFORE SAYING HE DESERVED THIS.

I agree with #10. How do you go your whole life and not use a band-aid? Did you not fall down and scrape your knees when you were little? If you didn't then you live in a bubble. I'm not trying to be mean but the story just seems a little bit off. Some allergies come along as you grow up or maybe they tried something new in the band-aid glue, as band-aids are always changing. Well, all I have to say is ouch cause you fell and then the band-aid glue made it worse, so that's no fun at all.

Wow, some people are idiots. People grow into and out of allergies all the time. It happens.

That really sucks... I found out I was allergic to certain band-aid adhesives when I was fifteen, and I've discovered a couple of other times since then, with increasingly bad reactions. For everyone who makes the comments about the unlikliness of finding out later in life: it's true about the different brands. For example, I don't know anyone who is allergic to band-aid brand band-aids (if the allergy is to adhesive and not latex).
